• Installation must conform to current building regulations.
• The position of the appliance must respect the minimal distances in regards to combustible materials, shown on the
descriptive plate. If necessary, install a wall protector. If the ground is not tiled, (i.e. fitted carpet, parquet…) install a
floor protector plate which extends out from under the appliance for at least 20cm at the back, 20cm at the sides and
50cm at the front.
• Make sure that the chimney is clean, free of soot or debris, and as straight as possible.
• The chimney flue must be airtight and the inner walls as smooth as possible.
• The connection between the chimney and the appliance must be as equally airtight and made of non-combustible
materials, protected, if possible, against oxidation (enamelled sheet metal, aluminium, stainless steel…).
The chimney must be high enough and constructed to avoid backdraft. It should be protected with insulating materials
to lower the risk of sooting in the high part of the chimney flue, and if necessary, it should be covered to avoid rain water
from penetrating.
The chimney must be designed and built in a way to allow a sufficient draw so as to completely clear the smoke from
the inside. As a rule:
1. The chimney must be at least 90cm higher that the point on the roof from which it emerges.
2. and be at least 60cms higher than any part of the building within a radius of 3m.
For the best draw, the chimney should be at least 5m long from the flue outlet of the appliance.LA

HOT AIR DISTRIBUTION
Your appliance is equipped with a heat recovery system and two flue outlets which allow
flexible tubes to be connected. The flexible tubes can be arranged in such a way that the
hot air is blown into other rooms.
If you prefer the hot air to come from the ducts and from the front at the same time, it is
possible to remove the deflectors. To access the deflectors you must first remove the filters.
Case 1 – hot air comes only from the front: leave the two deflectors and the filters in place.
Case 2 – hot air comes from the tubes and from the front at the same time.
Remove the cover (6 screws).
Remove the two steel deflectors
Replace the stop gap with the steel flue outlets
Observe that for IQ33, IQH33, IQ43 and ’IQH43 it is possible to remove the
deflectors through the filter without removing the cover.

FUELS
APPROVED FUELS
Your appliance has been designed to burn the following approved fuels:
Recommended solid fuels: beech wood, birch, oak, ash, hornbeam and wood from fruit trees.
Non-recommended solid fuels: conifer, damp wood, chemically treated wood, shavings, wood pellets, coke. It
is prohibited to burn refuse or flammable liquids (petrol, solvents or motor oil) inside the stove.
CHOICE OF WOODS TO BURN
The best wood to burn is very dry wood which will be easier to light and will cause less tarring/sooting in the chimney.
Ideally the wood will have been left to dry for 18 months, and even in that case the logs will still have a moisture
content of 20%!
Damp wood not only has a lower calorific power, which lowers the combustion temperature, and therefore is less
efficient, it is also difficult to light, extinguishes easily and gives off smoke. Above all, the use of damp wood can lead to
soot being deposited in the smoke ducts (tarring and sooting) of the chimney.
Some woods are more reactive than others. Those that are best are hornbeam, beech and oak. Aspen, birch and lime
tree burn well but do not last as long. After them are soft leaves and conifers. The diameter of the log is important for
the heat. However, this classification is only an indication as the best fire wood is always the driest.
Wood provided at a ready-to-use length, stored immediately in a well aired place, dry quicker than those left in steres.
Blocks dry quicker than logs. Wood chucks that are too small to be split must be drained. To do this, remove a portion
of the bark.
Drying the wood will take between 18 months and 2 years. This time can be shortened (12 to 15 months) if the wood is
cut to a ready-to-use length and immediately stored in a well aired place
TARRING AND SOOTING
When the smoke reaches a low temperature in the chimney, part of the water vapours that it contains condense. The
heaviest components of this are deposited on the inside of the flue. This is TARRING. The mix oxidizes in contact with
the air and forms brownish marks. This is SOOTING.
To avoid this inconvenience four things must be done: use only dry wood, connect the stove to achimney with thick sides
and at an even section (the bushel 20 x 20cm system is often used) and make sure that the connecting tubes are as
short as possible.
The chimney flue must be inspected frequently during the heating season (i.e. summer months) to determine if a build-
up of creosote is forming. If a creosote deposit of 3 1/8” (3mm) or more forms, it must be removed to reduce the risk of
chimney fire.

The UPPER AIR
SUPPLY control: used
for wood fires.
The LOWER AIR SUPPLY
control: used for coal fires, or
to make lighting wood fires
easier.
The controls operate valves that open and close in several ways, bringing the air to the fire in a way that optimises the
combustion according to the fuel and desired intensity.
WARNING: the controls can be hot. Always use
the tool provided to adjust the controls.
WARNING: DO NOT USE ANY GRATES, ANDIONS, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF SUPPLEMENTARY
SUPPORT OTHER THAN THOSE SUPPLIED WITH THE APPLIANCE.
The appliance has two main controls:
The UPPER AIR FLOW control
The LOWER AIR FLOW control
The two controls can be used together in a way
to combine the two air flows to achieve optimum
performance
USER INSTRUCTIONS
THE CONTROLS

18
With the Woodbox combustion system, the air needed for the combustion can be brought from above or below the fire
according to the type of fuel used.
A wood fire must be fuelled from above (upper air supply), while a coal fire is better fuelled from below (lower air
supply). The two controls allow the air flows to be controlled separately.
The buffer regulators, which allow an air flow from both above and below at the same time, rapidly and intensively
stoke the fire. Such adjustments can be used to light the fire easier or to burn the soot deposits on the glass pane.
However, the buffer settings can only be used for short periods as it can cause the appliance to overheat.
Controls>different uses
The two flaps are open to bring the maximum amount of air to the fire,
to make lighting it easier.
Closed Open
Open Open

lightning
One flap is open, bringing the air from above the fire. By going around
the heater, the air is warmed before it reaches the fire and this allows a
clean and efficient combustion. The lower air supply is closed.

USING WOOD> LIGHTING MANUALY
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
• Set the LOWER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
.Tip: leave the door slightly open to stoke the fire.
It will increase the draw and allow an ember bed to be achieved.
• On the grate, place some paper or shavings, kindling and some small
logs.
• Light the paper
• When the fire has started, close off the lower air supply. Normally, it
must remain in the closed position when burning wood.
• Then, adjust the flow to the desired intensity with the upper air control.
With practice, you will quickly be able to find the position that suits you
best.
Important: in the event of a weak draw and/or an insufficient
ember bed, it is advised to leave the lower air supply open
slightly in order to allow your appliance to reach its normal
performance (sometimes this can take more than an hour).
• Then, adjust the flow to the desired intensity with the upper air control.
With practice, you will quickly be able to find the position that suits you
best.
• On the grate, place some paper or shavings, kindling and some small

• Light the paper..
• When the fire has started, close off the lower air supply. Normally, it
must remain in the closed position when burning wood.
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY to maximum by pressing the + button on
the remote control.

USING WOOD>LIGHTING WITH THE REMOTE CONTROL
• Set the LOWER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
. Tip: leave the door slightly open to stoke the fire.
It will increase the draw and allow an ember bed to be achieved.

USING WOOD>CONTINUOUS FIRE
With quality wood such as oak or very dry beech wood, it is possible to
have a fire burning continuously for 8-10 hours or even more. To build
a slow fire that can last a long time while at the same time keeping the
window clean:
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control to maximum
• Leave it at maximum until the fire is burning strongly.
• Refill the appliance in the manner described above. Do not use round
pieces of wood or logs that have not been split as they risk rolling against
the glass pane and dirtying it.
• Then lower the intensity to almost minimum
(It is not advised to completely close the air inlet, instead leave it slightly
open to encourage the self-cleaning of the glass pane.)
• In the event that your chimney has a strong draw, it would be necessary
to close the air inlet more than with a chimney with a weak draw. See
also the section on “Setting the minimum air intake”, page 21.
20
USING WOOD>ADDING LOGS
To prevent smoke fumes from entering the room while adding wood and
to ensure a rapid recovery of the hearth, do as follows:
• Refill the appliance only when there is no longer an ember bed.
• Set the UPPER AIR SUPPLY to maximum
• Open the door slowly and leave it ajar for 30 seconds. Then open it
completely and place the fresh logs onto the embers.
• Close the hearth door. While the fire starts up again, set it to the
desired intensity with the UPPER AIR SUPPLY control (or use the remote
control: press the – button).
